Next Time, I'll Take You to a Fancier Restaurant

Gubernault looked at William with great interest, a slight smile appearing on his lips, like a kind old man.

"My name is William Spengler, Lord Gubernou, and I am a newcomer to the Loki Familia."

"He is also a disciple of Master Finn."

William immediately replied with considerable respect. Although he had no particular reverence for deities, he didn't mind showing some superficial respect for the person he might need to ask for help in the future.

"Just as I thought!"

As Guberno spoke, he stroked his white beard, which had grown down to his chest.

At the same time, he shifted his gaze to William's back, but did not find what he was looking for, and said with some disappointment.

"William, didn't you bring your gun?"

"Ah!"

Although William was a little confused, he still answered truthfully.

"Because I haven't used it much, I didn't plan to maintain it, so I didn't bring it with me."

"But if you want to see it, I'll bring it next time."

"Okay, that's good!"

"If you satisfy me, I will personally craft your first-tier weaponry."

Gubernou narrowed his eyes and said something that delighted William.

Don't be fooled by how simple Gubernou's words sound; this is no small matter.

The time, effort, and stamina required to forge a first-class adventurer's weapon are considerable.

Although the gods of forging possess divine skills, their bodies are ultimately still those of ordinary mortals.

Forging a weapon entirely from precious rare metals using an ordinary person's body would be a considerable challenge for them.

Therefore, the main gods of the forging system rarely take full responsibility for the forging of weapons. They are usually in charge of the main parts, while the auxiliary parts are handled by their Familia children.

Even among the Loki Familia, which frequently collaborates with the Goibniu Familia, only Finn, Gareth, and Ais are armed among the many first-class adventurers.

"I understand. Next time I come here, I'll bring 'Cold Star Cold Moon' with me."

Although he didn't know why Gubernou made such a promise, William wasn't about to let such a free lunch slip by.

Alicia, who was standing nearby, had been listening to their conversation and was happy for William's good luck.

"Alicia, what do you want?"

Gubernau finally remembered that there was someone else he had been leaving out, waiting all along!

"Lord Gubernou, our Familia wishes to commission you to build a magic Workshop within our Familia."

"Magic Workshop?"

Gubernault immediately became interested. He wasn't particularly interested in building structures, but he was quite fascinated by things like magic Workshop, which he rarely touched.

"Yes, I remember you built a magic Workshop for the [The Versatile], so when we had this idea, you were the first person we thought of."

Alicia covered her mouth with one hand and whispered.

"That's right, I made one for that little girl from the Hermes family."

"But if you say that, it means that your Familia also has a 'mysterious' owner, right?"

Guberniu crossed his arms and said with a confident expression.

"I'm sorry, this is still Familia secret, so I can't tell you!"

Alicia smiled slightly, a hint of mischief in her eyes.

However, William's stats and skills are classified even within the Familia.

Loki, Finn, and the others had already decided to temporarily conceal William's "mysterious" nature.

We'll report this to the guild when William reaches level 3.

"No! It was I who overstepped my bounds in this matter."

As Gubernou shook his head, his eyes also glanced towards William's side.

"So what is your budget?"

Tell me, so I can make a design draft.

Although Gubernou had his suspicions, he didn't think it was really his problem, so he focused on his work instead.

"Two hundred million Valis, if that's not enough, we can add more."

Alicia directly stated a number that would shock and move even Gubernou.

"That's really good. Now we can go all out and do our thing."

Gubernou nodded heavily, looking ready to make a big splash.

"I'll let you know when the drawings are finished so you can come over and make changes."

After finishing his speech, Gubernou began to urge everyone to get ready to start work.

"Then we'll be going now!"

William and Alicia nodded slightly, then pushed open the door and went back outside.

"Let's go straight back to our Familia!"

Alicia stretched and turned to William, offering her suggestion.

"Does Alicia have anything to do later?"

Instead of immediately agreeing with Alicia's suggestion, William stopped and asked Alicia about the time.

"It's nothing! Otherwise, I wouldn't have any free time to drink tea!"

As she spoke, Alicia made a self-deprecating remark.

"Then could you give me the chance to treat you to a meal? It would be my way of repaying you for your help today, Alicia."

William smiled, his golden hair dancing in the breeze. In Alicia's eyes, William looked like a noble prince.
